You were the beautiful little boy who lived next door.You were Scarlett's best little friend and we loved you very much. You will always be remembered in our hearts.

You are always on my mind and in my heart James. I know that seeing the 2nd anniversary of your passing through means I'm even closer to being with you forever. I can't wait to see you again. Love you more than words can say. Mummy. xxx

I remeber the first day James started at Lovington and me, him, and Alex Darnley were laughing and telling each other jokes, then coming second at sports day

Sometimes I sit and pray so hard, just to see your face again, to touch your soft skin and kiss your soft little lips once more....as I pray and think of you God gently leads me down a forest path where all the beauty I could possibly imagine...and much, much more...unfolds before me. The warmth of a loving glow, way beyond the warmth and beauty of the sun, envelops me, I feel safe, and loved, and I feel like I've finally found where I belong. I can hear the singing of millions of voices, all worshipping in harmony, the bird song is unlike anything I've listened to before. As I walk I feel increasingly excited, I know exactly where I am going. My Saviour is with me, He leads me on, I just feel as though I will burst with happiness, I am in Paradise and all that was promised to me is fulfilled here...along with far more than I ever knew about. I see a face...in fact, many many faces....I recognise them all, they have always been in my heart and now they are here. I notice one familiar face which is especially exciting to see, darling James is there, waiting for me. I turn and run, tears rolling down my cheeks, I am so full of wonder and I praise My Father once again..I hold James in my arms, I never want to let go, he is so excited and takes me by the hand...showing me things he has discovered too. I could never experience greater happiness..to be face to face with my Saviour...how completely awesome, and to be with James again! Wow! The light starts fading, I can't see so clearly now, I lose my grip on James....I rub my eyes and find I am back at home, looking out of the window on this glorious sunny day. I praise the Lord and thank Him, my time is not done here, but I know with all my heart and soul that the promise of Heaven will truly come, and I will be forever home. Thank you Jesus for loving me and saving me. Thank you for saving James and all those who love you. Please help me to walk wisely with you and never miss an opportunity to encourage others....there is so much to come and I will praise you forever and ever and ever and....

Darling James. Today in church we sang 'Our God is a great big God'and I sang it extra loud for you as you loved that song didn't you! I did all the actions too just like many of us did at your celebration service last year. I know you are happy and singing all the time, and I am so looking forward to singing with you one day. I love and miss you so much sweetheart. All my love, forever and ever and ever. Mummy. xxx

Darling James, I have created this memorial tribute for you as I want people to be able to share their memories and thoughts. I love so much and can't wait to be with you again. I know lots of people loved you and always will, you were a really special young man who was way too good for this world, you are in paradise now and I know you are happy. Thank you God for saving James and taking him home to be with you. I love to the moon and back James, a million, billion times. Love Mummy. xxx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to James Hurst. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
